Introduction:

   While at QuakeCon 2005, I met up with the owner of Razer, Robert Krakoff. You can read about both the event and Robert in my previous articles (Here and Here). During the conversation with Robert, he wanted to tell me about the Copperhead gaming mouse that was just being released. At the time, I said I didn’t want to give any real opinion of the mouse because I was only able to use it for about 5 minutes while standing up.

   Since I received a Copperhead for review a few weeks ago, I’ll just say that I’m very glad I decided to do things the way I did. Before I get into more detail about that, here are the specs of the Copperhead.
